THE GROWING COLT
Rough, shaggy colt: the world is all before you:
Blithe be your life, secure of oats and hay;
A little crowd of people to adore you,
And some green resting-place at shut of day!

The sun is low behind the grey-green trees.
And all the farm grows quiet by degrees.
Among their many lessons this is best:
The animals know when and how to rest!
A. W.
